I'm thinkin'

It's that time of year....my favorite time. Even though it's still in the 90's here in Texas....don't be dismayed...cooler temps might just arrive before the new year.

I am getting my fall groove on and tomorrow I'm thinkin' I may have to hop on over to Hobby Lobby (heaven on earth) and check out some fall decor for the home and porch. Since we abandoned our porch in mid July due to the high temps, I figure I owe it some special attention.

I'm thinking I might go all out...pumpkins, other gourds, wreath and scarecrows. Hmm...now I'm thinkin' I may need to see if I can get an advance on my next paycheck (LOL). My mom and stepdad are coming for Thanksgiving so I think I am going to embrace the holiday extra tight this year and make our home super cozy and special for everyone.

How 'bout you? Ready to trim your home for autumn? I'd love to hear your ideas.

It Came in the Mail Today

My first fall catalog came in the mail today. So, I did what any Autumn Loving Lady of Leisure would do....I cranked the air down to 70, lit the cinnamon apple candle and snuggled up on the couch to browse through the beautiful pages of oranges, reds, and yellows.

With real life temps over 100 today it was nice to escape momentarily to the pages of October, with crackling leaves, smells of campfires and the feel of lightweight flannel draped on my skin.

Hope your mailbox delivers something cooler soon!
